> Okay, he says, coffee break is over. Go back to standing on your head!

That joke is so well-known in our office that when we’re socializing at the coffee pot or whatever, someone will say, “Well, I’m going to go back to standing on my head”, and the meaning is understood by all.

### Friends are like underwear.

Some are always up your butt. Some snap under pressure. A few don’t have the strength to hold you up. One might get twisted. You have favorites. Some are cheap. But some actually do cover your ass.

### Therapists only want one thing,

and, frankly, it’s discussing.

### Don’t sing in the shower!

Singing leads to dancing, dancing leads to slipping, and slipping leads to paramedics seeing you naked in the shower. So, don’t sing in the shower! - Ruth Buzzi

An engineer dies and reports to the pearly gates. St. Peter checks his dossier and says, “Ah, you’re an engineer — you’re in the wrong place.”

So the engineer reports to the gates of hell and is let in. Pretty soon, the engineer gets dissatisfied with the level of comfort in hell, and starts designing and building improvements. After a while, they’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, and the engineer is becoming a pretty popular guy.

One day God calls Satan up on the telephone and asks with a sneer, “So, how’s it going down there in hell?”

Satan replies, “Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators, and there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.”

God replies, “What??? You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake — he should never have gotten down there; send him up here.”

Satan says, “No way! I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him.”

God says, “Send him back up here or I’ll sue.”

Satan laughs uproariously and answers, “Yeah right. And just where are YOU going to get a lawyer?”

I have the unicorn of lawyer jokes: one where the lawyer goes to heaven:

An attorney finds himself in heaven and an angel is showing him around, explaining how things work, etc. The lawyer says, “I just have one question. I can`t remember what happened… How did I die?”

The angel checks his clipboard, then tells him he died of old age.

“Old age?! I’m 36!” he exclaims.

The angel checks his clipboard again, then says, “That can’t be right. According to your billing hours, you have to be at least 92.”
